prettierd still running after nvim's closed

[siduck]

Hi! Im using prettierd formatter for css files and But it still keeps running even after the neovim window's closed :( . How do i prevent this?

This is normal behavior for prettierd and other daemonized linters / formatters like eslint_d. You can manually stop it with prettierd stop, but you'll lose the speed benefits the first time it runs (and its background resource usage is tiny).

im using prettierd for css , i couldnt find any other css formatter in the builtin examples. How do i add a custom formatter?

[jose-elias-alvarez]

Yikes, seems like it might be worth opening an issue on the prettierd repository, since that doesn't look normal. This is the skeleton for a custom formatter:

local null_ls = require("null-ls")

local my_formatter = {
    method = null_ls.methods.FORMATTING,
    name = "my-formatter",
    filetypes = {},
    generator = null_ls.formatter({ command = "my-command", args = { "my-args" } }),
}
null_ls.register(my_formatter)
